Terrycloth is a material that is often used to make towels. Terrycloth bath robes are quite popular for their comfortable feel. Terrycloth is a pile fabric, usually cotton, with uncut loops on both sides of the material. It is extremely soft and is available in a variety of different colors. 

Velour is a closely napped fabric that resembles velvet. It is very soft and supple. It makes great robes to wear during cold weather and is designed to create warmth and comfort. 

Silk is an incredibly smooth, soft, and shiny fabric and is considered an extremely luxurious material. 100% silk is a popular choice for bedding, high end clothing, and of course bathrobes. Silk robes help create a romantic mood and often coordinate with other pieces, such as lingerie. Silk robes are typically more expensive than robes made out of other fabrics, but are durable and long lasting.
